He won't and if he does I would be very suspicious of whether he would disappear at the end of my job too.Don't hire unlicensed and uninsured contractors.  

We feel the risks of skipping permits and using uninsured and/or unlicensed labor aren't worth the "savings" over the long run. 

You are very likely unknowingly acting as an unlicensed real estate broker.

Unlicensed  investors don't  have that hard earned opportunity.Hope all goes very well for you!

If you are an Licensed Real Estate Agent - you are NOT allowed by TREC to "Share" a Commission with an UNLICENSED Person.

I once thought I was meeting an agent in a property and it was an unlicensed assistant sent to take interior photos.Instead, I try to convince the lender to use an appraiser and offer to pay the difference.

It seems to me (though, I'll admit my ignorance openly) that the marketing of the property with wholesaling is exactly what Realtors can do that us unlicensed folk cannot. 

All I can say is down here no one is going to do a tear off/lay down for $170 a square, even on a 4/12 and if the house was next door to the shop, unless they're unlicensed, unbonded, uninsured, and using illegal immigrant labor. 

Remember, most of these are unlicensed brokers skirting laws to broker real estate without a license.

Many investors use unlicensed contractors for rehabs and are unknowingly contracting without a license in violation of A.R.S. § 32-1151 a class 1 misdemeanor (A.R.S. § 32-1164).There is a "handyman" exemption: Any person other than a licensed contractor engaging in any work or operation on one undertaking or project by one or more contracts, for which the aggregate contract price, including labor, materials and all other items… is less than one thousand dollars.
